This post is for voting on /c/rage’s Lemmyvision 2 song nomination.
Over the past few weeks, our community has submitted nominations, and we have until April 1 to pick a winner. Our Lemmyvision representative, @Gorgritch_umie_killa, has delegated our election to an independent agency, the Aussie.zone Eureka Commission (AEC).
Anyone who has recently commented a few times on aussie.zone before today is allowed to vote. (This includes, for example, some quokk.au users and various Australian Lemmy users on other instances)
This election uses preferential Instant-Runoff Voting[wiki] just like our federal elections. Put simply, this means that if your [
choice has no chance of election, your vote then runs over to your ][
choice, and so on, so there’s no disadvantage in picking an unpopular song you love for your first votes, your vote is not ‘wasted’ at all. Vote sincerely. ]
A couple of the nominations weren’t released during 2024, we’ve received confirmation from the organiser that they’re allowed!
Here are the entries. Please listen to them all before voting:
- Tanzer - International
- TISM - '70s Football
- Budjera - Is It Ever Gonna Make Sense
- San Cisco - Under The Light (released 2023)

Ballots, oldest to newest:
Borda counts (where #1 gets 10 points, #2 gets 9 points, … )
Other observations:
https://www.condorcet.vote/Vote/AEA9DC099A/
From the river to the sea was a Condorcet winner (would win in a one-on-one race against each other opponent). There was no Condorcet loser; International, '70s Football and Friend of Dorothy had a scissors-paper-rock stalemate going on.
International was the most controversial. It scored 33 out of a possible 70 in the Borda count (averaging a preference of #5) while managing to earn a #1 vote, a #3 vote and two #10 votes.
Everyone preferred:
